"you'll always be the light that i left on" lyrics

The way you used to look at me
On the tire swing in my backyard
I promised we were gonna be
Out of this town in not too long
A self-inflicted eulogy
I kept my word now I'm long long gone
You miss me like a truancy
You'll always be the light that I left on

Cause I left unprepared
For the fate we talked about
You know I still care

You say you say
You were bracing my fall
I say I say
You were holding me back
You stay you stay
Always to a fault
I gave I gave
A promise turned back
You hate you hate
The man I've become
I hate I hate it
When I look back
You stayed you stayed
In the city we're from
I stayed I stayed
True to my pen

I spent you like a currency
And made it kinda far but at what cost
And I built this ship for you and me
Just imagine how it feels you won't get on
A self-fulfilling prophecy
I took it for a spin and now I'm lost
It's lonely without you at sea
Try to find the lighthouse that you turned off

Cause I left unprepared
For the fate we talked about
You know I still care

You say you say
You were bracing my fall
I say I say
You were holding me back
You stay you stay
Always to a fault
I gave I gave
A promise turned back
You hate you hate
The man I've become
I hate I hate it
When I look back
You stayed you stayed
In the city we're from
I stayed I stayed
True to my pen
